Published today: “17 Reasons Captain Beefheart Was Cool” on Chart

Don Van Vliet, better known as Captain Beefheart, passed away on Friday. Chart rightly saw fit to kick off the week with one of their trademark obituaries, in which they provide a list of reasons why the person in question was cool. I stepped up to write this one, and I had a lot to work with. Though I can’t help but worry that I didn’t get everything right, what with Beefheart being as much myth as man.
